Wolfgang Tillmans

Tillmans creates a dialoge between photography and its subjects through various methods: stock images, photocopies and his own photographs, displaying them in several printed forms from postcards to inkjet prints. As Chapter 4 in Charlotte Cotton's book describes, Tillman is part of a group of photographers that turn the ordinary into the extaordinary, these may be objects or subjects in general that we pass by everyday or keep them out of the periphery of our vision, however through the artist's skills they are altered conceptually by the way the photographer (for example Tillman in this case) represents them.
